Israel said the attack violated the ceasefire

At least two rockets fired by Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have hit the Israeli border town of Sderot, Israeli police have said.

No-one was seriously injured in the first rocket attack since last week's truce in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip

Israel said the attack was a "grave violation" of the ceasefire.

The Islamic Jihad militant group said it carried out the attack to avenge an earlier Israeli raid that killed one of its senior fighters in the West Bank.

A second man was also killed in the incident at a university building in the town of Nablus.

Local reports said he was a student, and not a militant. The Israeli army said both men were armed.

Ceasefire strain

One of the rockets hit the back garden of a house in Sderot, while the other landed in open ground, police said.

Israel has not said how it would respond to the incident.
